My friend Nazarine had a few of us from the office come to her home for a luncheon. She has a beautiful home and really went all out for us girls. The food was awesome. She has a sweet family. What a fun day!!

We took the girls to a girl scout event. We had lots of fun. They stuffed stockings for the servicemen in Iraq, learned how to decorate cupcakes and made pottery. The girls are all so cute in their bakers hats!! They had so much fun!!

My grandma died on Thursday. We went to her wake last night. She looked beautiful and at peace. She was ill the last few months so I know now she is in a better place. She lived to be 91 years old. My mom and dad and Aunt and Uncle flew back to Ohio today to have her funeral there and be buried next to grandpa. God Bless you grandma! We love you and will miss you!

Its been so long since I've written. We've been pretty busy. I was very proud of Johnny for getting the Character award at school. They had a special assembly for the kids.
Included is a pic of the girlscouts bowling at the new bowling alley. We had so much fun!!
Zachary is playing soccer and actually got to be the goalie. He's doing great!
John took the boys fishing and lil Ryan caught a huge fish. He was so proud of himself! John cooked the fish they caught tonight for dinner. Yummy!!

Our home

Karl here is the pic of our house you wanted to see

Zacks 7th birthday

We had a fun birthday party for Zachary and friends at the new Brunswick bowling alley. I think he really enjoyed it. They had disco lights shooting down the alley and cool music.

In the morning we were taking pics of our dogs. They are part of our family and we love them so much. Deweys joints have been bothering him a lot lately though.

Barbecue and pool party for Nicoles birthday

Nicole is turning 12 on Wednesday. She got a part in the Jungle book so her first practice is that day so we will wait for the weekend to have her party. She is a beautiful, sweet and talented little girl that I am very proud of and love very much!!

I've been sorta sad lately. My dear friend Marlie and her family moved to Virginia last week. She was the one person I hung out a lot with the kids. Her boys are very sweet and we will miss them dearly. It's not like they moved very close and I hate to fly so we will be lucky if we get out to visit sometime. I was thinking in a couple years we can get out to Washington DC and make a stop in Virginia.

Also are a couple pics of the kids for their first day of school. They are very happy and excited this year. They seemed to have gotten good teachers too.

My friend Julie made this photo show with Nicole, Nicky, and Sophia. They hang out almost everyday. Thanks Julie!!

The girls having fun

We just got back from Mexico. We had such a relaxing time. It was so good to unwind. We slept a lot and ate too much!! Included are some pics of the kids on our sunset cruise. It was very beautiful out on the sea. We went down there with Wendy and her family and some of her extended family. I forgot to get pics of her boys. Included are pics of the kids on our cruise. In one pic Zachary is actually steering the boat. The Capt is standing behind him making sure we dont crash or anything.

I will add more pics later. The page wont let me put anymore up. I have some cute pics of Caryss.

We've had a really busy summer and I have had no time to blog. Im including pics of our end of girl scout party at our house earlier this month. We had a pool party and then went to learn karate. Of course I ended up signing the boys up for it. They seem to really enjoy it. Nicole and Johnny did two plays this month. They did a great job. I am so proud of them. They are very talented kids!! I think they found their niche. Thanks for coming to support them especially lil Caryss!! We're hoping to have a family gathering in a couple weeks. We are off to Mexico in a few days and looking forward to it.
